Starting Plants Part 2

The seeds I started ten days ago are sprouting nicely. The peas are ready to be transplanted any day now. I am just waiting on the weather to cooperate. The heirloom tomatoes are a bit leggy right now, but I am hopping they will continue to do well. The Romas are finally germinating.

I decided to move the germinated plants in front of the window.

Germination rates have been good for the peas. I planted twenty seeds and fifteen germinated. I plan on planting twenty more this week.

Peas in the background and a couple of tomatoes in the foreground.

The heirloom tomatoes did well. Out of the ten I planted only three didn't germinate.

The Romas, however, are a different story. Only two of the ten planted have germinated. I will try again.

The seedlings of onions, carrots and basil are doing well. I am going to try and transplant them into small individual pots soon.
